Sometimes When We Touch

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie

 

And who am I to judge you
In what you say or do
I'm only just beginning
To see the real you

 

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes
And hide
 

I want to hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

 

Romance's in all strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the years security
Some tenderness survives
 

I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize-fighter
Still trapped within my youth

 

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes
And hide
 

I want to hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides

 

At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
 

At times I understand you
And I know how hard you try
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
 

At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

 

 And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes
And hide
 

I want to hold you till I die
Till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
